Why is it so intense to share our creativity?
Why is it so intense to share our creative projects,
Our offers,
Our businesses,
Our social media posts?
Why does it feel so emotionally intense?
It's a really great question and here is one possibility.
Many evolutionary biologists and neuroscientists believe if you track our ancestors back in time,
You will see that it was essential for them.
To belong to the tribe.
You did not want to stand out.
You did not want to look different,
Sound different,
Because the tribe might kick you out.
And if you got kicked out,
There might be a saber-toothed tiger coming for you,
And that's no good.
And so there's energy stuck inside of us.
There is a biology of how our brain actually works.
Holds that fear of,
I need to fit in.
I don't want to look different.
I don't want to get kicked out of the tribe.
But here's the thing.
Last time I checked,
There's no saber-toothed tigers rocking around.
There's no actual tribes.
And there's no real danger.
But we hold the energy of,
I don't feel safe.
And that's okay.
We don't need to rush it.
We need to find compassion.
We need to get our nervous systems on board and slowly train ourselves by doing that.
Pushing gently past our comfort zones,
One little bit at a time.
I'm safe.
I'm safe.
I am safe.
And I'm allowed to make mistakes.
I am allowed to make mistakes.
In fact,
It's essential to my creative,
Emotional,
Spiritual growth.
To make mistakes.
And so it's okay if you have a really emotional reaction to sharing your gifts.
And you can go slow,
But you're gonna need to tiptoe past your comfort zone a little bit at a time.
And then before you know it,
You'll look and see and be like,
Oh my gosh,
How did I get here?
My comfort zone has grown so much.
Thank you for listening.
My name is Darius,
And I'll see you next time.
